Hello Elecraft, After a couple of years of flawless operation my K2-100 ( separate units) is starting to act up.:
A) At first I noticed that when pushing the “tune” key, that ATU of the 100 watts unit caused the relays to clatter in the normal way but after finding the 1:1 setting, the tuning condition was not concluded, and I had to switch off the set completely and start anew. Mostly it went well and the tune condition stopped automatically, as it should. BUT B) To-day pushing the “tune” key did not cause the built-in ATU of the 100 watts unit to start its clattering. The SWR reading ( lights) went all the way to the right, and stayed there. Naturally I switched off the set instantly , while in a split second I noticed the “Hi-current “ displayed. Using the Ant 2. position going to a 1000 watt dummy-load did not change the malady.. ++++ Disconnecting the 100 watt unit completely, I set up the K2 in its barefoot condition. The built-in ATU of the K2 worked completely normal. ++++ Conclusion: Presumably something has developed in the SWR circuits of the 100 watt unit. Where should I look ? 73’s OZ5RB Hans Elfelt Bonnesen ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
